Jeremy Hilary Boob, Ph.D., is a fictional character from the 1968 animated film Yellow Submarine, a psychedelic adventure featuring the Beatles. He is portrayed as a bespectacled, eccentric, and somewhat nonsensical academic, often referred to as "The Nowhere Man".

Dr. Boob is encountered in the Sea of Nothing, a surreal location within Pepperland. He is presented as a brilliant intellectual, having earned his doctorate and pursued research in a variety of seemingly unrelated fields, as evidenced by his rambling explanations and encyclopedic knowledge. He claims expertise in areas ranging from philosophy to musicology.

Despite his intellectual prowess, Jeremy is profoundly lonely and seeks connection. The Beatles invite him to join their adventure, ultimately leading him to Pepperland, where he uses his unique skills and knowledge to assist in defeating the Blue Meanies and restoring music and color to the land.

He is known for his catchphrases and whimsical pronouncements, contributing significantly to the film's overall surreal and humorous tone. His character embodies the film's themes of love, acceptance, and the power of imagination.
